2016 Renault Clio 1.5L Diesel · DA66 BDF

The Renault Clio presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 May 2025 at 74,762 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The test prior to that, on 14 April 2025 at 74,416 miles, returned a fail with no defects recorded, and an identical pattern occurred on 7 February 2023 at 55,694 miles where a fail with no defects preceded a same-day pass. These administrative failures with zero listed faults suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defect, and no advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or emissions have ever been logged. Annual mileage sits at a modest 7,476 across the vehicle's ten years, with the record showing 55,694 miles in February 2023, 66,083 miles by April 2024, and 74,762 miles by May 2025. The stepping is consistent at roughly 8,400 to 9,700 miles per year, with no abrupt accumulation that would flag drivetrain or clutch stress. A gap exists between the February 2023 and April 2024 entries spanning fourteen months, yet the mileage gain of 10,389 over that period remains within normal bounds for a lightly used hatchback. The clean advisory history gives no cause to suspect structural rust or worn coil springs, though the absence of recorded checks on binding calipers or exhaust condition means a buyer should still confirm brake balance and emissions during a physical inspection. Given the two no-defect failures, verify the V5C and test certificate alignment so the DVSA anomaly does not recur at point of sale. Prior owners kept the service intervals and MOT cadence disciplined, with no skipped years and no consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blade flags appearing. The Clio's record supports a low-risk purchase subject to standard pre-sale scrutiny of suspension joints and underbody integrity.
